Passing Practice (10 mins)

Set Up

Create a field 20x45m in size with balls spread around the outside.

How to Play

Play always begins with a switch between the end players. The next pass is into the nearest middle player and both outside players move forward to receive the lay off. The next pass is to the second middle player who lays off again and then the advancing players play through to the next two players and the practice starts again with a square pass with receiving players.

Defenders are optional but if used they are passive.

Rotate every 3 mins.

Progressions

1 - The first forward pass goes to the second middle player who lays back to the first middle player who passes to a forward runner.

2 - The first pass goes to the first player who lays back to one of the runners, as ball is played into second middle player the runners cross each other for lay off from middle player.

3 - Ball is clipped into chest of far middle player who lays off other middle player for pass into path of advancing players.

4 - Add Goals for a finish!
